a very very nice piece of art indeed... but the sad truth is that not all people can afford buying watches like this... i just cant stop replaying from 2:11 till end... ^_^
@hackerandcrackersinc (PART TWO) Whatever I buy from a pen to a house using skill in a prowess that has no functional end-product frustrates me. Did that person have nothing better to do with their talent? I will buy a watch with a tourbillon, when the current fad has died down and the prices become more realistic: I'm a collector, and have to try to have one of everything...
I am passionate about good-looking watches, but that does not extend to watches that are not satisfying technically.
@hackerandcrackersinc There we have agreement. Watch making has always evolved in three manners, in descending order: precision; prowess and prettiness. The greatest watchmakers compose with all three. My working life always contained an engineering element, always in far-flung, isolated places; what greater example of engineering can go anywhere my wrist will go? I don't connect with complications for their own sake, but I do with artistic flair. Go figure...
I'm a proud owner of, GMT Master IIc, Breiting seawolf, Hublot big bang.
and its a art to have a tourbillon, never said its better than COSC standards, but its a art. My seawolf, and hublot are base movements from ETA. I dont wear Gen watches and know nothing about them like most owners do.
@hacker, etc: Once you attain less than + 2sec/day, which my watchmaker can obtain from a 2824-2 with swan-neck regulator or from any of the "better" ETA /Valjoux/Unitas movements I have owned, there is no way such accuracy can be improved upon by a watch with a tourbillon for twice the price and beyond.
My collection is very fluid; at the moment maybe only 1/3 have ETAs, so your sarcasm has failed. Don't bother retaliating; you'll only look foolish. Again.
There are many watches with tons of rubies. They don't do anything useful, but clients pay for them.
Likewise the tourbillon; just another pointless complication aimed at vacuum-cleaning money out of gullible people's credit cards. Not seen in the most accurate watches!
Save money! Buy from a watchmaker like Muehle who up-grades ETA 2824-2s and regulates in all positions, well within COSC norms whether you pay the extra for a COSC certification
